dylan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just found a lovely little chicken book. It's called 'Don't Count Your Chickens' by Simon Puttock and Ross Collins. It's about a little girl who gets 2 chickens and then wants 4 and then 8 and then 16..... sounds a bit familiar! Illustrations are great.

Sal119 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 So glad you posted this on here My little boy loves our chooks to bits and when it was his birthday last week he wanted to know why no-one had sent him a card with a chicken on the front (a friend sent me one for mine!). I will order this book for him, he'll love it Sounds a bit like me, first there were two, now there's four ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkisland Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Eggsellent, thanks. I've ordered it for my little God daughter. She loves my poultry themed pressies! (I hope ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Eggsellent, thanks. I've ordered it for my little God daughter. She loves my poultry themed pressies! (I hope ). I had the same thought, my God daughter loves chicken things too, but I suspect thats my influence. Every time she sees anything chickeny she says "Look Auntie Deb, a chicken"... so she's encouraging me really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ruth-May has a new hobby: chickens. And she is completely hooked! She starts out with just two, but in no time at all, she has 16 chickens to cuddle and count, morning, noon and night. Ruth-May is deliriously happy Shouldnt this be in the non fiction section?

Space Chick Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Tasha - I read your comment this morning and it made me laugh hysterically for about 5 minutes So much so that I didn't have time to post my thanks, as I would have been late for work. However, now, in my lunchbreak, I would like to Thankyou for starting my day so brilliantly this morning It got me thinking though, about the sequel to this book, maybe she gets a larger run, and then a field, then starts talking about small holdings and alpacas and sheep and cows and pigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The sequel will be: 'Ruth May switches the family over to 'Basics' loo roll so that the hens can live in luxury' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
